Prototypes of the production Aston Martin DBX crossover first hit the roads of Wales last year. After that, tests continued in various regions of the world — up to polar latitudes and the famous Nürburgring track.
The concept that foreshadowed the DBX was presented in Geneva in the spring of 2015. Unlike the two-door show car, the production version will be four-door. Among its direct rivals are the Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne, and Maserati Levante.
It is expected that the initial modification will get a four-liter twin-turbo V8 from Mercedes-AMG with an output of about 600 hp. The flagship variant will be equipped with a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 developing approximately 750 hp.
Production of the crossover will begin in the first quarter of 2020. Later, the plant in St. Athan will start assembling Aston Martin electric vehicles and new luxury models under the Lagonda brand.
